Described as a provocative period drama, The Devil You Know explores the circumstances around one of the most compelling chapters in American history — the infamous Salem Witch Trials in 17th century New England, where intolerance and repression set neighbor against neighbor and led a town to mass hysteria.

Production on the pilot — a co-production between HBO and Lionsgate TV — is slated to take place in Boston in the spring.
